Chapter 3724 The Great Wilderness Immortal Court

. Ordinary semi-saint essence blood.

Although it contains immense power

, refining this essence blood can enhance a cultivator’s cultivation level and even temper their physical body to some extent.

However, it is absolutely insufficient for tempering a semi-saint’s body.

The reason is simple.

Ordinary semi-saint essence blood is essentially mediocre for cultivators who have achieved sainthood through physical cultivation.

But semi-saint essence blood with innate bloodlines is different.

The former is of little significance for tempering a semi-saint’s body, while the latter can exert infinite wonders.

After all, the key to

innate bloodlines

lies in the word “innate. “

While acquired bloodlines can still be cultivated through other means, innate bloodlines are either born at birth or can only be cultivated through the creation of heaven and earth.

For example,

the blessing of heaven and earth

is a kind of creation of heaven and earth.

The power of such bloodlines contains the creation of heaven and earth, which is incomparable to semi-saint bloodlines.

Even some complete saintly bloodlines, comparable to innate bloodlines, are still difficult to replicate in terms of physical tempering.

Of course,

if a powerful individual with an innate bloodline were to reach the saint level in one step and cultivate a saint-level innate bloodline, that would be a different story.

However,

innate bloodlines are rare,

and semi-saint level innate bloodlines are even rarer.

Ordinary Immortal Emperor level innate bloodlines are of little significance to Shen Changqing.

So far,

Shen Changqing has only obtained the essence blood of a semi-saint possessing an innate bloodline twice.

The first time was from the Xuan Turtle that invaded the Divine Heaven Domain.

The second time was when he killed the Primordial God Clan.

However, in comparison, the Xuan Turtle is naturally inferior to the Primordial God Clan.

After all, although the former was also a first-tribulation semi-saint, it was severely polluted by the power of the calamity, resulting in significant loss of essence blood, while the latter was different. With

this thought in mind ,

Shen Changqing temporarily put this matter aside.

Physical cultivation

is never something that can be achieved overnight.

Now that he had truly taken the first step, there was no need to rush the rest.

Shen Changqing continued his secluded cultivation as usual.

Many disciples at the Immortal King realm who were breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm were also in seclusion.

For them, if they missed a cultivation environment like the Profound-Rank Immortal Abode, it wouldn’t be easy to encounter it again.

Having failed to obtain the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele during their trip to the Divine Sun Domain, they absolutely could not miss this opportunity. To put it

simply,

one day of cultivation in the Profound-Rank Immortal Abode was equivalent to ten or a hundred days.

It must be understood

that cultivation is like rowing against the current; one cannot afford to slack off even slightly.

This was true for other newly promoted Ancient Immortal disciples, and even more so for disciples like Minghe who were at the Ancient Immortal realm.

Most of Minghe and the others were hovering in the mid-to-late stages of the Ancient Immortal realm, and reaching the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm would take a long time, let alone anything else.

At this time, Minghe and the others naturally needed to focus on improving their cultivation.

The remaining few disciples, including Gu Qingyang, who had a chance to obtain the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele’s opportunity, were also in seclusion, cultivating diligently.

However, their focus was different.

They weren’t primarily concerned with increasing their cultivation level, but rather with refining their foundations, striving to reach the pinnacle of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Only in this way could they maximize their chances of achieving a high ranking on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

But

refining oneself

to the Ancient Immortal Realm was no easy feat.

Even with the support of a Profound-Rank Immortal Mansion, reaching the true pinnacle required considerable time.

However,

Shen Changqing was prepared for this.

Therefore,

he wasn’t in a hurry.

The longer Gu Qingyang and the others refined their skills, the more opportunities they would receive in the future.

Frankly ,

Shen Changqing wasn’t worried about Gu Qingyang, Ji Yang, and Mu Chen, as all three possessed innate immortal bodies and had obtained the opportunity of the Immortal King Stele.

Furthermore, they had all undergone the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

With patient refinement, ultimately entering the Ancient Immortal Stele would not be difficult.

Even with the emergence of numerous geniuses and fierce competition for the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele in this era, it hasn’t reached the point where even innate immortal bodies struggle to reach the Ancient Immortal Stele.

It’s important to understand

that any innate immortal body is created by heaven and earth; it’s not a simple existence.

If innate bloodlines are powerful, then innate immortal bodies surpass them entirely.

Looking across the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, innate immortal bodies are few and far between.

Such immortal body cultivators, as long as they cultivate normally and accumulate their foundation step by step, can stand proudly among their peers, possessing power beyond the grasp of ordinary people.

This

is the strength of an innate immortal body.

Of course,

there are also mortal bodies that can defeat innate immortal bodies.

But such beings are extremely rare.

So far,

among the many cultivators Shen Changqing knows, only Ye Yun can rival an innate immortal body in strength.

However, although Ye Yun is a mortal, his fortune is as deep as an abyss; he is by no means ordinary.

Moreover,

Ye Yun has survived two ancient tribulations and obtained the opportunity from the Immortal King Stele; his strength is naturally unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

These exceptional cases should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, cultivators possessing innate immortal bodies essentially hold the entry ticket to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

The only question is how high they can ascend within it.

Thus,

it’s understandable that these individuals need to refine themselves.

Compared to cultivators like Gu Qingyang who are certain to ascend the Ancient Immortal Stele, cultivators like Chu Junhe need to dedicate even more effort to honing their skills.

After all, they only had one chance .   If they couldn’t ascend the Ancient Immortal Stele, it would be equivalent to completely losing an opportunity.

Even if they were to ascend the Immortal Emperor Stele later, it would be difficult to make up for this loss.   Furthermore, without the foundation of the Ancient Immortal Stele as support, the probability of rising against the odds and stepping onto the Immortal Emperor Stele in one step would be even more remote.   Under such circumstances, Shen Changqing was prepared to stay in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City for a long time.   …   On this day,   a strange phenomenon shook the heavens and earth.   In an instant,   the entire Heavenly Dao Immortal City trembled.   Shen Changqing felt this fluctuation of aura and couldn’t help but look towards the outside world. His gaze easily pierced through the void and landed on a cultivator.   ”The Heavenly Dao Divine Stele phenomenon…a genius has stepped onto the Ancient Immortal Stele!”   Shen Changqing’s expression changed slightly.   On the Ancient Immortal Stele, there was now a new name.   Jiang Tang!   Seventy-two on the Ancient Immortal Stele!   From the Cloud Hidden Holy Land!   Unlike the changes on the Immortal King Stele, the rankings on the Ancient Immortal Stele, although occasionally changing, did not change very frequently.   After all, even ascending the Ancient Immortal Stele doesn’t guarantee instant attainment of Immortal Emperor status.   In contrast,   for any cultivator who ascends the Immortal King Stele, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm is practically a matter of a single thought.   This is why   the rankings on the Ancient Immortal Stele change slowly.   Shen Changqing was very familiar with the hundred names on it.   So, with just a glance, he could understand where the cultivator who ascended the Ancient Immortal Stele came from.   ”The Cloud Hidden Holy Land seems to be a force from the Misty Mountain Domain. I didn’t expect such a Celestial Domain to produce a top-tier genius!”   Shen Changqing looked at the tall figure before the Ancient Immortal Stele, his expression somewhat subtle.   Back then, in order to deal with the Xuanwu Celestial Court, he had already thoroughly understood the situation in the Misty Mountain Domain. He   wasn’t exactly intimately familiar with the many top forces, but they were certainly well-known.   Among them,   the Cloud Hidden Holy Land was a force comparable to the Xuanwu Celestial Court.   From this, it was clear that the Cloud Hidden Holy Land was not weak.   The reason for this was simply that the Xuanwu Celestial Court was also quite powerful.   With an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint presiding over the position, the Xuanwu Immortal Court’s strength is truly formidable.   It’s only because that Xuanwu Venerable was unlucky and was instantly killed by Jiu Ye that an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint could dominate the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   Many top forces in the Chaotic Void Sea only have Eighth or Ninth Tribulation level Half-Saints on the surface.   This alone   is enough to demonstrate the Xuanwu Immortal Court’s extraordinary strength.   However,   just as Jiang Tang was about to leave the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, a figure stopped him.   The person was dressed in luxurious clothes, handsome, and possessed an undeniable aura of nobility. He didn’t look directly at Jiang Tang, but glanced at the Ancient Immortal Stele before refocusing his gaze on Jiang Tang.   ”Ancient Immortal Stele Seventy-Two, interesting!”   ”Who are you?”   Jiang Tang frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.   The young man smiled, as if he had seen something interesting.   ”I am Luo Jiuqing, the thirteenth prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court. Today, I wish to test the strength of this so-called seventy-second-ranked scholar on the Ancient Immortal Stele!”   The Great Wilderness Immortal Court!   Upon hearing this name, Jiang Tang’s expression visibly changed.   Six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands!   The Great Wilderness Immortal Court was one of the nine dynasties.   He had never heard of Luo Jiuqing’s name before.   Yet, the mere mention of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court was enough to compel Jiang Tang to take him seriously.   Having just obtained the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, he naturally didn’t want to create trouble out of thin air. Just as he was about to refuse, Luo Jiuqing interrupted him with his next words.   ”Could it be that a dignified genius ranked seventy-second on the Ancient Immortal Stele doesn’t even dare to fight me?   If you don’t dare, then kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and perhaps I might spare your life!”   These words   immediately darkened Jiang Tang’s face.   He stared intently at Luo Jiuqing, coldly asking, “What do you intend to do?”   ”A battle on the Immortal Dao Platform, life or death is irrelevant. If you win, you may leave the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, and I can guarantee that the Great Wilderness Immortal Court will not pursue any responsibility against you.   If you lose, then leave your life on the Immortal Dao Platform!”   As Luo Jiuqing finished speaking, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.   Jiang Tang gave him a deep look: “Is this truly the case?”   ”My word is my bond; these words represent the face of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court.”   ”Very well, I will fight you!”   Jiang Tang nodded in agreement.   He understood that if he didn’t fight, Luo Jiuqing would definitely not let it go.   The Great Wilderness Immortal Court was powerful and not so easy to deal with.   Now that Luo Jiuqing had made such a promise in public, Jiang Tang saw it as a solution.   As long as he defeated the opponent, this matter would be considered settled.   Of course.   As one of the top geniuses of the Yunyin Holy Land in this generation, and a powerful figure who has reached the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele, Jiang Tang is naturally not afraid of Luo Jiuqing, who is not even on the list.
